Chairperson –Bernadette Harris
White Road Preschool continues to run and uphold our community focused, longstanding provision, to the provide care and education for children aged 2 -5years with a vision to “Build outstanding futures for children in our community.” It is imperative that we maintain and enhance the service that we provide to extend the reach of opportunity to all, especially those that sit within the remit of the area of deprivation that we reside.
Our provision is governed by Ofsted and was inspected in December 2021, graded as “Good” in all areas. This evidences consistency across the board in the delivery of both care and education. Ofsted reports that the children are fully engrossed in their chosen play and supported successfully by highly qualified adults. Children have a strong sense of well-being and staff celebrate children’s achievements, which reflects our focus on the child centred approach, keeping their individual development and welfare at the heart of our practice. Consultations with parents and our supporting colleagues from the Medway Early Years Team continues to model our improvements throughout the year. We remain working to full capacity and often have a waiting list, which reinforces that the provision is Good and our reach into the community is successful.
We have renewed our investment in to the enhanced project of Medway Early Years Ltd, they continue to provide us with training opportunities and advice to ensure we are meeting the legal and expected requirements of the provision including safe-guarding, first aid and staff development, as well as providing a way to link us to the wider sector of Early Years within Medway to enable us to work holistically and collaboratively.
Our income is provided by the government/Medway Council via funding claims authorised by the entitled families that attend the setting. Which we have extended our offer to include the option of 30 hours, which is working well. We continue to recover from the reduction of attendance and threat of partial closure due to Covid-19 and have adapted our practices to reflect the safety requirements and support the emotional repercussions of the pandemic, we have worked to rebuild confidence within the sector to safely return to full time education.
The money for this financial period has been spent on Wages, Tax, Equipment, Administration supplies, Rent and Consumables – (Snack for the children as set out as a national requirement as well as significant celebration events.) This year we have once again funded our trips to the theatre, farm and the zoo with the addition of pumpkin picking at a local orchard, this enhances the children’s
experiences of the world and provides opportunities they may not otherwise get in such a deprived area.
Our plans for the future year are to re-educate our staff post-pandemic, to take in to account the affects this has had on this cohort of children, to adapt our practice to reflect this and continue to work towards achieving an Outstanding Ofsted rating overall.
